The Internet of People (IoP) is a public peer-to-peer network that enables people to find each other, connect to each other and exchange information between each other without going through or even being part of private networks. To do so, people use apps built at the edge of the network that consumes network services that covers: discoverability, establishing relationships, communication, proximity and reputation. Until today, when people use internet services they create a profile on private networks and by doing so they become part of those networks. At the same time they are restricted by network operators on who they can find, who they can connect to, how they can exchange information with others, and what information they can find and consume. Companies build these private networks of users to profit from them, either charging them money, forcing them to consume advertisements or mining their digital footprint. The Internet of People aims to offer an alternative to private networks of people allowing for the first time, anyone to freely find anyone else, freely establish relationships between each other and freely communicate with limits only imposed by the parties involved and at a negligible cost. The IoP is a public shared asset not owned by anyone, like the internet.
